ITS Jamf ServiceNow Integration

05 - Icon_White copy 2

Remotely automate and discover your Macs from ServiceNow.

The cost to develop your own integration could be 15x times the cost of our integration!

What is the ITS Jamf Integration?

Import hardware & software data from Jamf Pro according to CMDB and SAM-P best practices to enable your help desk and asset managers using the same tables as your other CMDB/asset integrations.

“Why should I get the ITS Jamf Integration?”

In version 2.0, you can now automate and simplify the process of importing your asset data from Jamf Pro into your ServiceNow CMDB utilizing the Jamf Pro API. You can also automate the deployment and reclamation of software using Jamf Policies*!

Here’s how the ITS Jamf Integration can help:

Accommodates SAMP SW Metering & Reclamation

Saving 20% on Mac software spend by automating the removal of underutilized software licenses, eliminating waste safely and remotely.

Scheduled CMDB Data Import modeled after SCCM integration

Near parity between Windows and Mac hardware inventory. Accurate data can better enable ITSM and ITAM professionals when centralized in ServiceNow, minimizing access needed to Jamf or requests to Jamf admin for Mac data. Integration can be scheduled to run daily.

SAMP Software Inventory

Our integration deploys an extension to Jamf allowing Software Inventory to the level of detail and required to use SAMP. The Jamf Pro’s out of box API won’t include Software Publisher names for any titles. For example, it wouldn’t know that Adobe as the publisher of Photoshop. Our Software Inventory Policy is able to determine software publisher for most titles.

Automated software delivery

Our Integration facilitates automated fulfillment of Jamf Software Catalog Requests, potentially saving IT hours of manual work and lost efficiency due to context switching each week.

Surface Jamf Duplicates

Duplicates happen in Jamf due to certain kinds of maintenance and IT processes. These can incur additional licensing costs from Jamf, our integration is able to report on them and even gives links out to the possible duplicates for review and removal.

Ongoing Updates

We are regularly improving the integration, adding features, and ensuring compatibility for ServiceNow updates.

Jamf Extension Attributes

Any custom Jamf Extension Attributes are imported and associated to each CI in the CMDB, allowing for Jamf reporting access to ServiceNow IT users without granting them individual access to Jamf.

Custom UI / UX

Modern UI reduces the possibility of configuration errors by programmatically validating configuration settings along the way. Saves users time and money by putting all the pieces in one place.

Store Certification Best Practices

Our integration is a recommended app in the ServiceNow Store. It has to adhere to a strict set of coding standards, including requirements around security and performance. We also have a 5-star rating in the store with positive reviews from several publicly traded customers and adoption in some of the top Fortune 500 companies.

Compatible with both On-Prem Jamf and Jamf Cloud out-of-box

Our modern UI makes it extremely simple to connect to Jamf Pro whether hosted in the cloud or on-prem.

Save time and money.

The cost-benefit analysis of the ITS Jamf ServiceNow Integration

The cost to develop your own integration could be 15x times the cost of our integration!

An average enterprise integration can take a minimum of 3 weeks of professional services at an average rate of $8,000-$10,000 per week, but it would take significantly longer than that to develop the full feature set in the ITS Jamf Integration. On top of that, additional testing and maintenance needs to be done periodically to ensure compatibility with ServiceNow updates etc.

Schedule a quick call, and we’ll show you how it works.

ITS Jamf Integration with ServiceNow: Version History

Version 2.0.0

New in version 2.0.0 

This version is a major update which adds support for the new Jamf Pro API, token-based authentication, and significant performance improvements thanks to pagination and data source batch processing.

The Jamf Pro API supports pagination for computers and now offers attribute parity with the previous Jamf Classic API, allowing us to request 100+ computers in a single API call instead of requesting one computer per API call, then transforming and inserting separate records. The new import should be at least 5x faster.

Now that the API includes software bundle ID's, we no longer need the ITS Jamf Software Inventory Policy & Script - we now get all applications through the standard API calls! This simplifies the setup while improving security.

  • Import Improvements
    • Jamf Pro API Support
    • sys_property for page size / throttling
    • sys_property for increasing max API timeout in slower environments
    • Data Source / Import set-based batch processing for significant performance improvements (5x or more faster than previous methods in early testing)
    • Optional Running Process import
  • Security Improvements
    • Deprecated Software Inventory Policy and Script in favor of application bundleID's in computer-inventory API
    • Token-based authorization support for Jamf Pro API and Jamf Classic API

  • Additional Enhancements  
    • Agent Workspace compatibility for ITS Jamf Remote Management Suite
    • Additional Software Publisher Maps for Adobe titles which aren't returned by iTunes API

Version 1.3.1

New in version 1.3.1

This version includes a number of enhancements and bug fixes based on user feedback, especially around the Software Inventory, Software Delivery, Software Reclamation, and Jamf Remote Management Commands.

Changes

  • Software Asset Management
    • Blank Software Install Bug Fix
      • fixes a bug where blank software install records are being created. The changes include an update to the Software Install field map (both for SAMP and non SAMP customers). This change to the map will determine if the software name is missing, and pull it from the application package field instead. This will avoid blank install records from being created in the future.
    • Added ~500 Mac App Store (MAS) Software Publisher Maps
      • The integration has always included a framework for converting Bundle ID's to Software Publishers using an API; the integration now ships with ~500 Publisher Maps out of box, reducing API calls
    • Software Publisher Company Name Bug Fix
    • Jamf Software Portal Bug Fix
      • Catalog Manager wasn't updating catalog item short descriptions if the description was already blank

  • Other miscellaneous improvements  
    • Redirect Update Set Uploader Widget to new window if Polaris enabled
    • Multiple Disk / Disk Size Calculation Bug Fix
    • MAC Address Attribute Update Bug Fix
      • mac_addresss -> mac_address
    • Adds additional properties to the staging table:
      • OS Width (32-bit or 64-bit)
      • IMEI
      • enrollment_date
      • udid 

Version 1.3.0

New in version 1.3.0
